advocates in the DA's Office are not implementing the CSEC Protocol because they have not yet seen it. Lafayette partially disagrees with Finding #6. The City cannot address the Response: practices of other entities, including whether or not other parties "are not implementing the CSEC Protocol because they have not yet seen it." Specifically, Lafayette Police officers are contracted through the Contra Costa Sheriff's department, and we believe they are aware of the CSEC Protocol.

The Board of Supervisors, City Councils, and Sheriff's Department should consider recommending that all first responders (usually law enforcement) refer suspected victims of CSEC to specialized and dedicated CSEC personnel, to be established within CFS. This recommendation will not be implemented because it is not warranted. Response: While the recommendation may be an appropriate solution, the CSEC protocol should be determined at the county, not city level. Once a process has been identified, either within or outside of the CSEC protocol, the City of Lafayette will follow appropriate protocols for referring suspected victims of CSEC to other personnel.
